Wow! Surprised your interview was the first time I’ve heard Gov Mitch Daniel’s speak. So very impressed. His common sense and knowledge blew me away! His perspective on politics shows wisdom and the characteristics of a great leader. Thank you for hosting him as a guest so your viewers can become acquainted with him. I’m now a fan!!!

I was once a Republican. I quit for all the reasons one must. I thirst for statesmanship. Mitch Daniels was a long cool refreshing draught. Thanks again Margaret.

can I give another thumbs up?

[@enoch327]

Why do all the decent Republicans leave politics? Says something about our broken system.

Mitch to Joe Rogan

[@willfrey7589]

He needs to dump a lot more of his phoniness. He hung around with the wrong people for too long. Time wounds all heels.

Geez Margaret it was a great interview until you let your Trump derangement attitude permeate through....I remember when you were actually non partisan with your wonderful interviews.....but I guess you have to keep that Government money coming in for PBS so your journalism ethics have to take a bit of a backseat to appease the current administration.....you're still the best just a little less shall we say reliable....

Signs of Trump derangement syndrome: patriotic anti-fascism, deep and detailed intellectual engagement with history, politics and economics, a vigorous and unceasing concern for protecting our democracy from authoritarians and wanna-be authoritarians.

@NJintheImagination Please enlighten me as to what Trump did while in office that made him the fascist and un patriotic demon that you believe he is and while you are helping me with my history please advise me about what your thoughts are towards our current resident assuming the role of the leader of the free world and his job evaluation as compared to his predecessor

@@NJintheImagination If that's Trump derangement syndrome, I think I caught it! Thanks for the diagnosis!

Disclosure I was born and raised in Indiana as well as alumnus of Purdue so may have bias. Not sure what part of this interview was leading or biased: fair questions and thoughtful responses
